Microglia are immune cells of the central nervous system, playing a vital role in brain development, homeostasis, and disease. When these cells become dysfunctional, they can contribute to various psychiatric disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. To enhance our understanding of microglial function, researchers are increasingly employing human cell-based models. This approach significantly improves our investigations into these complex conditions and aids in ongoing drug development efforts.

The article investigates the role of CD38, an enzyme implicated in neuroinflammation and cellular senescence, in the context of vascular dementia (VaD). It demonstrates that inhibiting CD38 can mitigate cerebrovascular endothelial cell dysfunction, blood-brain barrier disruption, neuroinflammation, and white matter damage, ultimately alleviating cognitive impairment in a mouse model of VaD. The findings suggest that targeting CD38 may offer a promising therapeutic strategy for addressing the vascular and neurological deficits associated with VaD

This scoping review examines diet-related health inequalities in high-income countries through the lens of the PROGRESS-Plus framework. It highlights the need for standardized methodologies and intersectional approaches to monitor and address persistent diet-related health inequalities in high-income countries
